Googling shows this to be a fairly common project, so I am not all that impressed? It looks great, but it also had training material for this exact task.

I swear someone will eventually come down in an anti-gravity belt to deliver fresh mangoes just shipped half an hour ago via Starship from Pakistan, and the comments will be that “it’s not that impressive” :D

The training material has been around since the start, but we are just now reaching the point where LLMs can autonomously code complex software that works; this would take an engineer days to make, with access to the same training material. I bet 99% of devs couldn’t even complete the window manager alone in under 24 hours, let alone a snake game + shell and python interpreters + paint + text editor.

One-shot demos tend to be so pointless.

Good job regurgitating something that already exists, must be great when you have no requirements for the result.

They probably have the source for thousands of sites with a desktop like UI in their dataset...

Maybe a dumb question, but uh, what exactly was the prompt?
